Yakuza

S

Permanent alternate faction focused on human conflict, faction betrayal, and access to Yakuza-exclusive contract routes. Official Trello and external faction guides agree on the core lock-in rule, initiation tasks, and exclusive contract tradeoffs, but not on many of the previous page's detailed combat bonuses.
